or "Pasalubong" to Bring Home
SWEETS HOUSE CHA CHA CREAM PUFFS
Why buy in Hong Kong:
You can only find stores serving this delicious cream puffs in Hong Kong.
My tips:
1. Make sure to taste one immediately after you buy it. Nothing beats the experience of tasting it, while the top is slightly crunchy. You lose the crunch on top if you wait till you get home or return to your hotel to eat it.
2. If you plan to bring it home as "pasalubong" or gifts to loved ones when you return to your home country, make sure to buy it on the day of your departure. By experience, the cream puffs last only 3 days at most. The cream becomes slightly sour on the 3rd day.
3. My number 1 favorite is the classic custard cream puff.

MACAU RESTAURANT PORTUGUESE EGG TARTS
My tips:
1. Make sure you eat the egg tart immediately after you buy it. It's the best time to eat it while it's hot. The puff pastry is crunchy and the egg cream in the center is so creamy and soft. When you eat it cold, it still tastes great but the pastry is no longer crunchy and not as creamy.
2. This is great to bring home as gifts for people at home. It lasts long and can be reheated in the toaster to make the pastry crunchy.
Price:
9 HK$
Packaging:
9 HK$
Packaging:
Each box can store 6 egg tarts.
